Minute-by-minute report: Can Erik ten Hag puncture Arne Slot’s unbeaten start to life at Liverpool? Find out with Tim de Lisle
get forward yet again, though nothing comes of it. There’s another lull as Mazraoui goes down in a worrying way. And United don’t have a full-back on the bench…
sung to the beautiful melody of the fine rebel song, Guantanamera. Given that taking delight in the misfortunes of one’s rivals is a key aspect of fandom , is that the most harmless way to do so? Managers know they’re never that far from the door, most get a payoff that a Stretford End season ticket holder wouldn’t earn in a lifetime and some, like Vincent Kompany, fall upwards or get pretty good gigs at other clubs or in the media.
It’s been a story of one scenario, enacted twice. Two baffling Casemiro errors, two immaculate Salah crosses, two crisp Diaz finishes. And now Erik ten Hag has to work out whether to be as ruthless with Casemiro as he has been with Harry Maguire.Casemiro spots redemption as he tries to chip a through ball to Garnacho, but it’s too far ahead of him.A while ago a caption told us that Casemiro had given the ball away ten times in this match. And that was before the second goal.
In today’s other big game, Newcastle have just gone ahead against the run of play for the second time. As expected, Erik ten Hag bring Joshua Zirkzee in to replace Mason Mount. As not so expected, he replaces Harry Maguire with Matthijs de Ligt. When he did that last weekend with a substitution, United were suddenly disorganised. And there’s a third change as Alejandro Garnacho comes in on the right wing for Amad, who ejectedis a rancorous old rivalry that, even in the age of Man City, still pits the club with the most league titles against the one with the next-most .
The upshot, in his first two Premier League games, has been a pair of 2-0 wins. That’s as many as United managed in the whole of last season. It’s not just the results that bother United fans: as Ten Hag hangs on for a third autumn in Manchester, it’s still hard to say what his style is.
